Editorial Reviews

Three white kids with affection for hip-hop, indie rock, and science mix their inspirations on The Manhattan Love Machine. There is a deep bass sound to their music that comes from a love of dub and jungle. Interludes between heavier material are marked by trance-like electronica. Lo-fi, lo-tech beats and sounds of substance mark everything, as if wrung from the last moments of an eight-bit computer. Their success in Chicago won them opening slots for Laika, Sisters of Mercy, the Creatures, and more, based on their self-produced recordings. -All Music Guide

kinda cool. didn't know what i was getting into. but after giving it a good once though....then another....and i'm on it again, it's hittin'. it has a bit of everything. a little more trip hoppy than i'm used to, but good use of the synth held me and still is holding me. and as i'm writting this review there is a possiblity i may have graded this disc a little lower than i could have. we're now looking at a 4.5 to a possible 5.

if you like autechre, boards of canada, or gimmik you may quite possibly be down with trs-80.

nice grooves.

A friend turned me on to these guys a while ago and I've had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple of times in Chicago. The New CD is very cool. They do a good job of mixing several different electronic styles (dub, jungle, trip hop, house) into one unique style. TRS-80 puts on a great live show and they've put out a good 'ol CD as well. No buyer's remorse with this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Darn Good Album, November 6, 2000

This review is from: The Manhattan Love Machine (Audio CD)

This albums is really good, I do enjoy it. I picked this up on a fluke and ending up really liking the whole thing. It is truly weird album and defies logical placement on the music scale. It is that same Aphex Twin Mu-ziq vein in my opinion though sorta...
